"ANGE is a very pecular group.progressive rock,cool, violence sometime but with words only. not commercial: many french people don't know Ange very well, but the clever and poets love Ange..
Voices are pecular,strange, not very good voices, but it's ok for the sentences, music is very good.
every cd is a concept album. you can love one and hate an other.
good cds: from the begining to 1992, after, as you want. live albums are always good.
my best ANGE album is"emile jacotey"(1975) very slow,cool,like pink floyd,but with sentences, it's a fairy tale. but emile jacotey really exists, he's an old french highlander who told them many old stories.
"Au dela du délire" it's really crazy fairytales, anti clerical,middle-ages stories.
an other cd,"a propos de", it's many good reprises of famous french writers,composer and singers like jacques brel,georges brassens,charles aznavour,jacques dutronc,michel polnareff
Jacques Brel was very happy for the version of" a jeun"but i don't like every ange album(like "vu d'un chien(1980)""la gare de troye(1983)""moteur(1981)""ange "(1990) and after 1992.
my best choice, best albums:
-Emile Jacotey(1975)
-A propos de(1982)
-Au delà du delire(1974)
-Caricatures(1972, remaster 1998)
-compilation"Ange" 1999, blue paper cover, ref:546315-2 universal, (songs from 1972 to 1976)
and the long format 3cd album with little book and pictures:
"Ad libitum" (1999) ...indispensable gift, like christmas elvis album!
also some live albums just for fan clubs(one every christmas).
you can find some very rare VHS SECAM live videos, but rare even in france.
